if you can get approved for a private loan (HIGH interest rate) then yes you can get a loan to cover the difference. BUT since the bank has the title, it's not really YOUR car. To get that title, and transfer it to the new owner, the first loan will need to be paid off in full. some dealerships will offer to pay off the difference, but its the difference between trade in value and loan balance. and you'll have to buy a car from them. they'll put that difference on the new car loan and then you'll be even more upside down with value of car versus how much it's worth. im in the same fix...

I dont get it...if you still owe on it, you already have a loan. When you sell it you send that money to the people you have the loan through and then you only owe what's left. Right?

- Yes, if I sell it for what it's worth, I will still owe the difference between what it's worth and what I owe. Would a typical dealership buy the car from me and arrange to finance the difference?

- Why would you need to? Just continue paying on the loan you already have.

- To make a long story short, I'm a victim of fraud. I can't afford the car. I don't want the car. But the loan is in my name. So I want to sell it and finance the difference between what it's worth and what I owe.
